I have been hit in the body so much I essentially disregarded any body damage, even the heaviest hitters didn't really hurt that bad. That fucking hit to the chest didn't even hurt, it just disabled my fuckin organs. Guy said he intended it to be a liver punch, but it didn't hurt, so that can't be it. I have no idea where he hit me or how that worked, but he obviously knew what he was doing because he did it twice in a row.
Fuckin sucks, is it over for me bros?

I practice muay thai, I noticed that I don't punch properly without gloves, gloves give me more area and it seems like I punch well, but when I practice without them I look like a noob.
TLDR, how do I practice better punching without gloves?
My idea now is to just practice pun ching without gloves and focusing on little targets. maybe marking a column to punch or something

Question for home gym, if I were to only get two types of hanging punching bag which ones should I get? I'm thinking a double end bag and a teardrop bag would probably be the best.
Am I correct in thinking the teardrop bag would be better then a heavy bag?
Also, regular teardrop bag vs aqua bag?

I've started this recently and I have a question. After I have the basics down, should I try and learn the peekaboo style? I'm shorter(6'0" and same reach) but I have a very large frame, there is no way I'm cutting weight all the way down to cruiserweight, so generally the guys I'll be going against will all be way taller then me, so I'm thinking peekaboo would suit me well.

What kind of boxing gloves are these? I ordered a double and bag and these came with it. One glove is like 6.45oz and the thumb is not padded, I think it's probably a bag glove right? I don't know what the straps on the wrists are for tho.

recently i've decided to start training my legs in a similar fashion to how i train my shoulders so that they don't get tired, i know that running is supposed to help build up the endurance but some extra work cant hurt.it's three times a week and what I do is 50 squats, 1 minute wall sit, and then 50 calf raises. I do this 3 times, and plan on adding more squats so i'd always be reaching 200.am i retarded and should i stop doin this or is it actually helping out my endurance, i have noticed that i can sit on my punches a lot easier now, and for way longer, but i've also been running more.

> the first round finish and the trainer tells me if i want to continue and i say internally fuck this i am not gonna be this guy punching bag
> parents of the guy start laughing after i leave the ring and some boxers come to comfort me saying i did good that means it was horrible
> some other guys fight and the opponent that rocked my shit fight a professional that came from other town
> he beats the professional in points and start to celebrate with his friends and parents
> then i realised that i was called only to make a fool of myself and to make this guy looks good before he had to fight the professional
> i get a second fight vs a girl my weight that goes all out just like the first guy but this time i fight good and i fell my counters hurt her making her trhow agressive combinations
> this time i fight the 3 rounds of the sparring and actually feel like this fight was more balanced
> after that i leave since there were no more fights that day
> no new messages from the trainerAfter all this i think i have a broken rib and i think i won't go or talk to this gym again so this is the end of my amateur career. The worst thing is that the guy i fought had a gay sacrifice mark from berserk as a tattoo.

Literally pissed myself in my sleep because my brain could not get me up from my deep sleep lmaoo. Been training 6 days a week for almost 2 years now and I'm always sleepy whenever I'm not doing anything. I've literally passed out while riding my bike multiple times and hit vehicles in front of me. I can not manage my routine to get more sleep when I actually haven't been getting up early to run since past week.

5"8, 180 lbs, just turned 34, I'm in decent shape and about to join a boxing gym in two months with zero experience.In the meantime I'm doing insanity max 30 and dig deeper to get conditioned while I slowly buy gear and equipment to practice at home too.Anything I should know? How does free gym use even work? Will coaches only help you on one on one lessons and group classes? Will I even learn to really box from the group classes considering everyone is at a different level? Do I HAVE to get 1 on 1 classes if I wanna actually learn?

I'm a big guy, I'm 6"3' and I used to be a powerlifter so I'm strong fat
I'm right handed
When I was young I badly injured my right shoulder, so when I started boxing I learned to lead with my right arm despite being right handed
I've been doing this so long that leading with my dominant hand feels totally natural and normal; jabs and lead hooks feel like butter
When training I read Jack Dempsey's book and focused a lot on hitting hard
After a few years my shoulder totally healed and it has since regained all its strength
Apparently a large guy who fights southpaw despite being right handed, and who focuses almost entirely on hitting hard, is terrifying, since I can throw jabs like sledgehammersShould I go on a cut and compete?
Someone told me I'd do pretty well

How long does it take to get past this stage? I haven't trained in a while because our gym closed down. But I felt as helpless as a child fighting a grown man.

Do you use a speed bag? I've noticed most gyms don't have them, and it seems that anything trained on a speed bag (hand-eye coordination, arm stamina) is better trained on a double-end bag.

I'm 37 and have been lifting weights all my life. I am in shape and started boxing a couple months ago. There is so much to learn but the class I go to doesn't do sparring. It's more of a fitness class that teaches fundamentals as well. The people that come to the class seem to like boxing but do it more for fitness and not to learn how to fight. There are a few guys that come that know how to fight but are older or for whatever reason don't spar/fight. Its a real boxing gym that has a team that comes after my session so when do you think is the right time to ask to join that session? The conditioning is what I am working on the most. On the days that I don't do boxing I am still lifting weights but now I run three miles before I lift. I feel that I may be too old to be trying to get in the ring and fight with people though.

I haven’t been to the gym to spar in quite a while, which is why I’m asking this. I practice on about a 315lbs standing bag and can knock it over with relative ease with any punch. How comparable is that to knocking down a person? Anybody have any clue about that?
